It’s time for fall feeding and reseeding. Whether you need to reseed a large area or spot seed your yard, Now is the time! There is no better time to sow seed than the fall. Save on our Fairfield Mix grass seed blend by purchasing in 50 pound bags. The rate of application of Fairfield Mix grass seed is 6 to 8 pounds of seed per 1,000 square feet of yard for bare ground. For over seeding use the rate of 3 to 4 pounds per 1,000 sq’. If you are a person who likes a super thick yard you can double or triple the application rate.

If you are not going to be seeding your yard, you can control those weeds that have been green and growing all summer long while your grass went dormant. By killing the weeds this fall you can get ahead of the excessive weeds we will have next spring! You can use our liquid weed killer in a tank sprayer or my favorite, an end of hose sprayer. Remember liquid weed killers must be applied when the forecast is below 85 degrees. So if you are wanting to use a liquid weed killer you will have to wait till next week when it should be cooler. A granular weed & feed fertilizer like, Greenview 2-Way will also be good to control weed this fall. All weed killers, liquid or granular, needs 2 days of sunshine after we apply. If you are putting granular on your yard, you have to apply with the dew on your grass in the morning or wet your yard before applying.

Falling leaves is just around the corner if it has not started in your yard already. Come in a check out our Super Rake which is a 30″ wide leaf rake that is pre-bowed so every tine touches the ground without any downward pressure. You can also mulch your leaves with your lawn mower. I found to do this right you must go cut your leaves each week like cutting grass.

We hope this fall you have the nicest yard on your block. Stop in and talk it over your individual situation, everyone is in a different situation and that is what we are here for.
